Half way in to its four-week foray in Canadian KFC outlets and the infamous double down is smashing sales records for the chicken chain, say officials.

By the end of this month, they predict more than 350,000 of the bunless sandwiches — which use two pieces of fried chicken to corral bacon, processed Pepper Jack cheese and secret sauce — will have been sold in Canada. That’s based on the fact they’ve been selling some 30,000 per day across the country.

In the U.S., in the first month they were available, more than 10 million Double Downs were purchased.

On this side of the border, those in Alberta and Manitoba are chowing down on the fried chicken sandwiches more than other provinces.
